Hungary's post-WWI financial position was severe enough that the new state couldn't print its own large-denomination notes domestically. Orell Füssli in Zurich handled the job — a Swiss firm with centuries of security printing experience, and politically neutral enough to be trusted with the work of a newly truncated nation still sorting out its borders under the Treaty of Trianon.
Helbing Ferenc's design work for this series is worth noting; he was one of the more capable Hungarian graphic artists of the period working in an applied commercial idiom. The 1920 date places this note in the early inflationary spiral that would eventually force Hungary to abandon the korona entirely in 1927, replaced by the pengő at a ratio of 12,500 to one.
